A election campaign would not be complete without Democrats and the media - but I repeat myself - accusing the Republican of racism. It's par for the course and totally expected.

At some point in a presidential campaign, Democrats accuse every Republican candidate of racism and consorting with the KKK—to say this smear isn’t a standard Democratic campaign ploy is to wage war on honesty. Hillary once called Democratic Senator and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon Robert Byrd “a friend and mentor,” but that historical irony seems lost on MSNBC commentators. Trump’s tackling of illegal immigration makes him an easy target. His Mexico City trade show blunts the smears. He gets a win in the trade deal.

Read the whole thing.

As an interesting sidelight, Chuck Lane, editorial writer for the Washington Post called Trump the "loser of the week" for his trip to Mexico followed by his speech on immigration in Phoenix.
